Remember talent tests like the ‘Draw Me’ ads in comic books? Many people consider that they were a scam. After all, anyone and everyone that made the effort to draw whatever character was displayed passed, whether it was of a pirate, a house, a donkey, or Bob Hope. Essentially, it was a clever ploy, devised as a means of selling an art course, and it served the advertisers more than it did most of the hopeful artists who drew and sent in a likeness.

Depending on where entrants lived, a salesman might even have been dispatched to show up at the door, unannounced, with the intention of selling a company’s instructional art program. Even back in the Depression, one firm’s version cost $170, rose to $300 by 1950, and is around $3,500 now, as a distance education course.

That said, it’s how Charles M. Schulz – creator of the ‘Peanuts’ comics strip – started. Seriously. He answered a “Do you like to draw?” ad, passed Art Instruction Inc.’s ‘talent test’, and started developing his abilities (he even became an instructor there later). Regrettably, not everyone answering an ad came out feeling as successful by their efforts as was Charles.

From Patricia…

“Black Feather, words are inadequate to express the song of my soul - that you heard and brought such healing balm to. I felt disconnected from Source, from life and just wanted to return home. Thank you for guiding me through, and facilitating me to release that which kept me prisoner - This journey will keep unfolding as I Am finally free to acknowledge and explore the Gifts of Spirit that I felt unable to fully access. So much Gratitude - this has sent ripples through time and space that have greatly transformed my life. Many Blessings xo <3”

“Aside from being a gifted teacher and a psychic artist, David also does really, really incredibly amazing readings.
The one I chose was the Illuminator Insights reading and holy moly... David's reading was exactly as it is titled, 'Illuminating', and the insights he gave me were like none I've received before... I really don't have the words to describe the value and the uniqueness of it... I've worked through some pretty huge shadows to do with family, friends and my own little self. David touched on it all, and on top of that gave me an insight that I honestly didn't believe I'd ever get regarding someone I'm quite estranged with. The peace it gave me was priceless.
In addition, he allowed me the time to give him feedback and through that, he fed back with extra information and advice.
On top of all the above, there's a gentleness and self deprecating charm that I found pretty easy to take, especially with the delicate issues that were raised for me.
I got double the value of what I paid David... he's the real deal. What I paid was minuscule in comparison to the treasure it gave me. His readings are worth every penny.”
